Robert G. "Bob" Trocolor (March 31, 1917 – July 27, 1984) was an American football player and coach. He was also a college basketball and football head coach as well as movie actor.

Football career

Player

Trocolor played college football for the Long Island Blackbirds before transferring to play for the Alabama Crimson Tide. He then went undrafted in 1942 but eventually landed a spot with the National Football League's New York Giants, for whom he played for two seasons as a substitute quarterback, punt returner and halfback. In 1944, Trocolor was traded to the Brooklyn Tigers and played in two games. The team merged with the Boston Yanks in 1945, but Trocolor did not get picked up, so his professional football career ended after three seasons.

Coach

In 1974, Trocolor became the third head football coach in William Paterson University Pioneers football program history. He served for just one year and compiled a 2–7 overall record (1–4 conference).
